Hopefully a life changing thing for the better of the rest of my life.

Yes folks, armed with a reference, personal statement (that was chopped and changed by 3 different people) and some personal details I have now applied for a degree in Computer Systems Engineering at Nottingham Trent University.

Just to explain my recent absense I've spent a fair bit of time away from things thinking about it (plus a few days being ill with the man-flu) sorting things out, reading into things, battling with UCAS which wasn't as bad as I had expected.

Next step, if I get accepted, is to sort out a student loan and accomodation.

I just need to wait and hear from them now.

I hate waiting for things like this.

Helen and myself will have to terrorise you if you end up down our neck of the woods

Seriously, I hope everything works out for you, you deserve it.

My OH went to Trent Uni years ago and did Electronic Engineering, and he had a blast. Nottingham, as you're learning is a cool city, but please don't live in St Anne's.

All the best

Thanks Ali, I need to hide from both you and Helen I think.

Is St Anne's towards the north of the city? I know someone who lives in Basford and that's rough as a badgers arse!

If I get accepted I'll be at the Clifton campus, so will be living on the campus there hopefully.

best of luck to you...its horrible waiting for the application process to be over but time will soon start to fly by...doesnt seem that long ago I was going through that waiting game and now Im nearly at the end of my 3 years at uni (though am already considering further study...)

best wishes for you in your chosen career

Thank you all

I made a mistake on my application (just spotted it) my college years are 1 year out.

Phoned UCAS up and they said it's OK, they aren't really bothered about dates, just the qualifications.

Good luck Chris - hopefully they wont keep you waiting too long. We have a 2 week turnaround, not sure about Trent.

Clifton isnt the nicest of places, however in comparison to St Anns, Hyson Green, Basford et al its lovely! (I only live a wee way away from Clifton on the south side too )
